Nothing finishes off a makeup look than a pair of fluttery false eyelashes. It’s the piece de resistance, and has the power to elevate an ordinary makeup look into a full blown beat. Yet, so many of us choose to stay away from them for one simple reason: They’re difficult to apply.
We’ve all shed a tear or two when it comes to falsies. Many of us have rocked up to an event an hour late because no matter what we did, or how hard we tried, they just would not stick (those pesky inner corners!).
Thankfully, we live in an age where beauty products are constantly advancing, which means gone are the days where you’re fiddling with a pair of lashes for 20 minutes. From invisible bands to magnetised versions, there is quite literally a set of false eyelashes for everyone.
Here are some of our favourites:
Ardell Faux Mink WISPIES are lashes with soft, fine, tapered fibers. The classic WISPIES style with silky soft lightweight fibers, criss-cross strands that resemble natural lashes and featuring Ardell’s signature Knot-free Invisiband® for a seamless look and comfortable wear. Ardell’s Faux Mink lashes are ideal for creating ultra-soft, fabulously full lashes for an effortlessly glamorous look.
Glam By Manicare Pro - Charlotte are magnetic lashes with lightweight and discreetly placed micro magnets for optimal contact and hold power. The Charlotte lash style is ultra fine with subtle layers for an elegantly natural look. Easy to remove and transition from day to night lash styles in seconds. Reusable, with no glue required.

Eylure C-LASH Petite is a range of lashes specifically for those who have lost their natural lashes. From this and in partnership with Eylure and Codilia Gapare, C-LASH was born. C-lash is a strip lash with a clear, self-adhesive band attached to it to increases the stability of your false lashes. The band provides a bigger, more solid foundation for the lashes to stick to the eyelid and remain in place all day. With long-lasting wear, it is ideal for lash replacement or can be used by anyone who wishes for an easier lash application.
NYX Professional Makeup Wicked Lashes - Vixen are false lashes transform a look from everyday to glamorous in a matter of seconds. Keep them in place using the NYX Duo Eyelash Adhesive.
